Huimin is here! Again.

Yay 4th day. Temperature taking was LOL. All so cold one. 
Mass dance was confusing lah, I could only see the PSLs heads and them talking so I had no idea what to do. LOL. 
Next amazing race! I decided I need to exercise more, I fail at running. The stations were very fun though! Woots we completed everything. 1C rocks! :D

i look like a lotta ppl sia!


Why must all good things come to an end. No its not IPO (yet), but AMAZING RACE. It was SUPER FUN LORH and I really enjoyed myself today. Sadly, the game ended with TRIBE 1Banana finishing last! (becos we were 2nd and only 2 groups finished YAY ._.)
Today the day started off differently, as I was excited. Excited because RONZA HAS RETURNED TO GNAWNIA YAY FOR THE MOUSEHUNTERS :D and also, I was really looking forward to the long day ahead of me :D
My temperature was 35.6*C and it was so weird! But that was because I slept in aircon, took a bus with aircon, and went to a class with aircon! HAHA yay for 排比! Anyways, im so used to not bother remembering the teachers’ name that I said good morning ma’am. Haha and the rest of u were good-morninging the VP and CT with their names :D
Ok I realized that the friendship dance was much more fun when u do it with a person NOT OF THE OPPOSITE SEX. Its more fun and NOT EMBARRASSING: D (haha jack haha) anyways the new dance we learned today was rather simple, but I was too blurr as certain tall ppl blocked my view from the PSLs D:
Ok the activity we all have been waiting for… started with a bummer. The Sudoku puzzle was rather challenging, and we fell into the trap once, thus delaying our time. But with the help of all my 11 peers, we worked together as a class and solved the puzzle eventually! YAY
We had to slurp some yellow liquid (no its not pee/ diluted soya sauce in water) outside Neptune ct, bounce the ball, and learn a few random facts about my tribe leader in ECP, then taking a bus, overshotting 1 stop to a “ancient hymm” station. Ah. The don’t forget the lyrics. Apparently only I listened to Ke$ha’s We R Who We R :O but actually, one doesn’t have to know that song to answer the forgotten lyrics. THE FORGOTTEN LYRICS WAS THE TITLE. LOL :D
I lived half my life in Marine Parade, and only TODAY I know the place called thai-pan existed :O hahas, cheap, fast, awesome food. I think my tribe had a CNY reunion dinner siol. We ordered 3 plates of different rice, and shared the food amongst 6 ppl. It was like so COOL. We scoop a serving into a bowl, then we passed it around to others, like so GUAI (good. Not weird) :D
Btw, there’s a reason why VS have uncle foo.
the bottom of the pic is where the GUYS sat and dripped all the grains of rice, and the top of the pic is where the GENTLEWOMEN ate.
Anyways, we cleared lunch in 21 minutes. Yes. Twenty-one. And we overtook 3 of the v12 tribes! HAHAHAHA my tribe and PSL Angela were laughing all the way until the next station :D awesuuum!
After a few more weird forfeits and interesting activities, we finally arrived at the castle of aura, AKA PARKWAY”S CNY DECORED FOUNTAIN. Haha :/ while we were clearing the roadblock, we went to KOI café and wanted to order some BBT. However, we left our wallets at Aura’s care so we couldn’t buy BBT D: but my tribe was waaaaaaaay ahead of the 3rd tribe so after clearing the food-tasting station and claiming our ticket to Olympus, we slacked at KOI as well as 7/11 :D YAY
My tribe earned a total of *********** pts just by sucking up, inclusive of new and impronto awesome/cute suck ups :D most of the gamemasters love them, and I bet one of them is THIS:


Ok I guess I should sleep now. Rest well, and enjoy yourselves in Hades’ Realm tmr!

IPO day 4R1

HELLOS!


sigh so fast a week is going, going and soon GONE! :O
time really flies when fun's on the run... Sigh... but it's not over yet! :D
Left with ONE final day! D: MUST TREASURE!!!!


today started in the room where we call our dog kennel for the year:D the classroom of the AWESOME 11v11! :D
Temperature taking! woo! :D Fun huh? :) 36.8 degree Celsius :D hot enough:)


next go E. hub for MASS DANCE:) recalled all the dances we learned the previous days:) Messy as usual..
We were attempted to be taught the 'newest' mass dance... which originated since 199something? LOL Most complicated but coolest the PSLs say.. We got bored and tired.. and in order to conserve some energy for the impending energy draining activity, the AMaZNG Race, the PSLs decided to postpone the dance to learn tomorrow..
So we started the race sooner..


IT WAS AWESOME like us:D got to learn of the different hangouts around east coast by Victorians VS and VJC alike.. Thaipan, Udders, Ice Cream Chef... 
My tribe didn't complete the whole of the race due to some circumstances lalala haha..
With Darren around, cracking cheesy pick-up lines and flirting much, laughter and MORE laughers are brought up.. Especially when I-Lin, Germaine and Bing Lin were around.. Darren just never fails to piss them off HAHA Erotic Darren, but great to have him around:) Tribes 1A and 1D were together for most of the race.. So begin as 1, be half midway and end as 1? hahaha


tiring.yawn.kthxbai.goodnite.cya.ok.bb.

Love, youjing.
Post becomes shorter and shorter day by day.
People grow more and more sick of posting. LOL.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ITS THE LAST DAY TMR. D:

Vincent's less procrastinated IPO Reflection (yay)

Heyyoo.

This is the earliest time I've ever posted a IPO Reflection :D Im so proud of myself.

Well okay, today we had 'assembly' at our own classrooms. It was really epic cos it's the first time any of us ever had aircon in our classrooms, so we immediately turned it on. We assumed that we could do that cos our CT didn't say anything about it when she walked in. (Coff Coff) Maybe that's why some of our thermometers during the temperature taking exercise showed sub-36°C readings. And...That's when we learnt a lesson. At that moment VP walked in and she told us the daily morning procedures, such as opening the windows, turning on the fans...and not turning on the aircons. :/ Oh well, no more cold mornings for us D:



We then proceeded to the E-Hub for our Mass Dance event, with our daily dose of Tristen's 'WHOO WHOO'. We had to learn an easy song and a hard song. If you ask me, I'm just glad the songs don't require a partner. When the dances started, most of us couldn't really see the PSLs and the moves they were doing cos of the mountain's of heads blocking us. The ones who managed to see were frantically trying to mirror-image the dance moves, mainly cos the PSLs were facing us, so their left was our right and stuff. In the end... I still think the first dance was the best. Maybe it's cos we were standing in a circle, so we could see the moves more easily. Also, there was a dedicated PSL teaching us the dance moves. Maybe its just us. We had tha skillz on day 2. :D


Then came the Awesome Amazing Race! Before anything like this happens during IPO, I always mentally prepare myself for the forfeits, so I won't be so stunned. :) We went to many places I never knew existed. Like Ice-Cream Chef and Udders. Whoever planned this Race must really like Ice-Cream. Also along the way, my tribe kept meeting up with the udder other 11s' tribes, so sucking up wasn't much of a problem cos we could always come together to do a mass 11 cheer. :) We even learnt how to say 'I Love You' in Hindu. :O We then went to the Library, where noise was forbidden. And... that's when the forfeits poured it. Honestly, I was glad I had Darren and Calvin to do them with me. We had a trio proposal to Germaine and I Lin. (Yay I named them. :D) Darren then started to massively flirt. Well all I can say is, not bad. ;D


Returning back to the E-hub, I started to look at my watch every few seconds. That's right. I was late for mah Piano Class, and I haven't even left VJ yet... When Harish said 'You guys are dismissed', I immediately yanked my bag and rushed out of the room, hailing a cab. I got the cab almost immediately, but there was a friggin jab at KPE. So I ended up being 45 minutes late. D:


..ANYWAY,that paragraph above was a bit extra:D. I think Day 4 was a great day in IPO as we had a chance to explore the vicinity around VJC, knowing more things and where's the nearest Ice-Cream Shop. Heck, I was in VS for 2 years, and I've never heard of 'Udders'. :O

Ginnette's Reflections for Day 4

I died before I could do day 3. Thanks to the little little little bit of vitamin water I had, I am still alive now. You guys should drink vitamin water. Everybody should drink vitamin water. IT'S GOOD FOR YOU!
So today had mass dance again, I still find it confusing. I can't remember anything. GAH. Amazing race was fun. Tiring though, I realise how unfit I really am. Was so funny that we met up with every single team along the race. 1A paired with 1D towards the end. I think Bruno Mars has issues. Someone get him a shrink. Thai pan's mee goreng is nothing like the maggie mee mee goreng I know and love. I feel cheated. The portions are very big too. *feeling guilty about wasting food* Udders has nice mango sorbet. I wish they were more generous with their scoops. 
We didn't complete all the stations but thats ok, at least we have fun. We all returned to VJ after the Udders stations sweating and stinking up the bus. 
After that I can't really remember what happened cause I was stoning and feeling really really blur. 
Ok, FIN.

Day [4] IPO ending T_T

Just wanna say that the Amazing Race was extremely well planned. :D Good job PSLs. Although there were some stations which had too many teams at once, but cant be helped since there were like... 20 tribes. So we went back and forth VJC and Parkway. Met some of our sec school teachers on the bus also and felt so weird/ paiseh. For much of the stations the whole class were together and we did suck up cheers as 1 class ' begin as 1 , end as 1' :D.

So thats pretty much all for today.

Tomorrow is already the last day of IPO... :( sad.........................................

Day Four Reflections: Tristen Tjokro

Hey guys, I would gladly like to ask you how your day was, but sadly, we all know how it is. Regardless, I still feel rather sore about the fact that tomorrow would be the last day of IP Orientation. It was so much fun, that I just can’t bear to not continue having it. I was like why??? But then Horatio told me that we still had Invigorate ahead of us next Monday so actually it isn’t so bad……yet.

Anyways, tomorrow we still have a mass dance to learn (what’s more, it’s the most difficult one of all!), and after which, we still have to dance all the six dances that we learnt from the previous days! Isn’t that just great? I’m not even thinking of how to get myself to the toilet during then to skip it…Oops.

Never mind, we also had the ‘Amazing’ race today. You know what’s so amazing? It’s because not everybody managed to complete all the stations, I’m telling you, if it was the real thing, tons of people would be eliminated straight away. Another amazing fact would be that today, my group, 1B, managed to finish our lunch within 21 minutes, inclusive of going to the toilet, eating our dishes, waiting for the food to be served and ordering food as well. And then, when we left the restaurant, the other group which were way ahead of us, had this look on their faces saying what the hell are these people made of? Are they that enthusiastic? I was literally laughing my insides that I almost chocked on my water.

That’s wasn’t all. We were so fast that we even had time to stop at a bubble tea shop, KOI, order drinks, take a break and even go seven-eleven at the same time, all within quite a long period of time and no other teams managed to catch up too. I have to say though, even though my group managed to finish all the stations and complete the race, however, we didn’t managed to do any of the stagger challenges at school, and when we came back, they were already over, losing out on a whole lot of points. It was so adrenaline-pumping that I didn’t even that 4 hours had already passed.

By the way, I was definitely right that every single day of IPO is never once boring makes me want to sleep. I’m always like sitting right on the edge of my seat, waiting for something to come knock me down. I’m am extremely satisfied with today and I hope that tomorrow would be just the same as well.

Tristen Tjokro

still alive, surprisingly

omg i didnt write the reflection for yesterday! heh heh, cos i always have something on on monday and wednesday so i always reach home very late! [fyi psls]

oh YEAH READ THIS SENIORS: when we were learning the mass dance, horatio was like do you guys wanna learn tmr so that we can start the amazing race now. or you guys wanna learn now, so that you have more time to for senior junior interaction, the whole class was unanimously agreed on learning today!!!!!! so sweet of us right!!! [omgomgogmgomgomgomgomg, im starting to sound so cheesy ewwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!] oh amazinggg race!!!! omg, our ct joined my tribe and it was so awkward and funny since we havent really interacted with her much and stuff, omg does she have the blog address?!?!?!  funny cos she was so cute funny when she went im more than 10 years older than you all [hint hint], you all better run faster than me ar!! and she's very nice!! like she didnt scold us BUT like yknow keep asking about ourselves and stuff! [oi im not saying this cos i think she knows our blog address okay!] but we stopped running after the third station already lah, heh heh. but anyway, what made everything so much better was that like at the last few stations, 1A and 1D just went everywhere together!! and HA darren, your witty wannabe comments CANT BEAT mine! and then like at most of the stations we just went if we do together as a class [kinda lah], we can max out right? then omgomgomg, the station at udders was so funny cos we were like anyhow cos it was the last station before we had to go back! and yong jie was kept giving the omg-im-being-bullied face, or something like that lah.

so today was less tiring than the other days, cause it was a lot shorter!

the mass dances are super hard, and my co-ordination is like... non-existent. :P

the amazing race was really fun, though we couldn't get through all the stations. we met up with tribe 1D after a while, and finished together. ;) begin as 1, end as 2.

congrats to tribe 1B for winning second place! i have no idea how you got through all those stations.

Darren's Day 4 Reflections! :DD


HARLO AGAIN AGAIN. I noticed everyone’s post is like shrinking. I wonder why.. J
Mass dance was… UBER ENTERTAINING. Ahem. Obviously not my favourite thing to do!
Amazing race was really fun. At least we get to travel out of the school compound!
The games were really well organiseddd. There was a fly in the drink for the first station though.. but we still finished it all LOL
We were mostly running or walking around with I-lin LAGGING BEHIND WITH THE GOLD SACK AND SUDDENLY CATCHING UP.
After reading jaslyn’s post I realised that I-lin really didn’t eat like breakfast or lunch.. so I’m suspecting she’s alien or supernatural.
Sadly we didn’t finish all the stations but at least we all had fun and bonded together even more J
That’s all byebyeeee
With lots of  <333333
Darren!
